1. Raffi Torres, for the win. He's not first guy you'd put in the OT hero pool, but the Sharks pest hit it big Friday night with a nifty game-winner against the Canucks in Game 2.

Torres finished off a 2-on-1 with Brent Burns by chipping the puck over Roberto Luongo (more on him in a second) at 5:31 of OT. The goal gave the Sharks a 3-2 victory and a 2-0 series lead.

Torres didn't even finish the playoffs last year after leveling Chicago's Marian Hossa and earning a 25-game suspension from the league. Now he's scoring overtime goals.

Back to Luongo. The series could have been 1-1 had the puck not leaked between his pads and into the crease after a save in the final minute of regulation. San Jose's Patrick Marleau swooped in and tapped home the rebound at 19:04 to force the extra period.

Luongo is in because of a shoulder injury to Cory Schneider. Will he be between the pipes when the series resumes Sunday in San Jose?

2. Back to "Blackhawks hockey." Chicago earned a no-drama 5-2 victory over Minnesota in Game 2 after needing overtime to win Game 1. It peppered Wild backup goalie Josh Harding with 48 shots and displayed more jump than what they showed Wednesday night.

"For us, we've got to keep shooting the puck, crash the net, and usually when you do that, plays will open up," forward Patrick Kane told reporters.

"If we're moving our feet, we're playing our team game," forward Patrick Sharp added. "The goals are going to come whenever they come, but if we're playing Blackhawks hockey, we'll be better off."

The Wild could tell the difference, too.

"There was clearly another level to their game tonight and I'd say there's at least another level to ours that was unfortunately in the wrong direction," Minnesota coach Mike Yeo told reporters.

3. Nothing but the tooth. The Canadiens and Senators are tied 1-1 in their series. The goalies are tied 1-1 in dental injuries.

Montreal's Carey Price lost a tooth after a goalmouth collision Friday night. After regaining his senses—and after officials stopped play—he casually skated toward the bench, extracted the tooth and handed it to the Canadiens’ trainer.
